No matter what

I'm going to have one beach trip this SUMMER...And if I'm blessed..I'll be including my whole family with the trip so it will be more fun!

Hope to recover soon

Thank God our motorbike is now registered, we’ve used it for a while without the 2011 sticker and the husband has been reprimanded twice by the authorities, Praise God he’s license was not confiscated and we were spared of another unnecessary expenses. It is only a motorbike and yet the annual registration is expensive (especially for us who belongs to average income earners). I actually told hubby when he went to register it to look for the cheapest emission testing center and cheapest TPL insurance, I do not know if list of cheap auto insurance rate is displayed in LTO for people to choose but we’re thankful my husband knew someone from there and pointed him to the cheapest insurance he can get.

We’ve been burdened with so many expenses the last few months, the mission trip, the loss from the t-shirt printing (which is the hardest for us), the motorbike registration, the moving (repair) expenses, and lately, my mother got sick and we went home unscheduled to visit her (which I do not regret at all because I miss her much already) But my oh my..I hope we can recover from this financial crisis soon :(

Wedding Expo Philippines-18th ed

Asia's Biggest Wedding Fair is happening this weekend, March 12 and 13 from 10 AM to 8PM at SMX Convention Center. I saw the exhibitors directory and there are loads of them from photo and video down to accessories, everything you need for your wedding..it's there. So if you are planning your wedding anytime soon, please come at the wedding expo. And if you are looking for an invitation supplier luxepaperie by Michelle Quizon is there, beautiful but affordable invitation.

I will definitely be there with two couple friends who will  tie the knot soon!  See you there!

Still wanting my dream wedding rings

Last month, I accompanied a friend in a bridal fair to check on wedding ring designs, true enough there were many beautiful designs and we both fell in love with all the two colored ring designs. She ended booking their ring supplier there and got super big discounts for the rings.

She chose a yellow and white gold twisted together with 6 small stone. It is beautiful and for the price it's a good deal.

Maybe not as nice as moissanite rings I've seen but it is still a good buy.

Ours was even cheaper and lack luster compared to what she have chosen,When I made my suppliers rating after our wedding, it was one of the thing I mentioned, that I wanted a much nicer ring for us and that I have a dream wedding ring that I wanted for us.

And I am still dreaming of that wedding rings. We will be turning 5 this year and I am still not getting it, who knows on our 6th or 7th? Or on our 10th? I'll just keep on dreaming.

Moving and repairs

Update on our moving saga:

1. The wall repainting is not done yet. Last week was a busy week for me and the husband and he didn't have the chance to finish it. Almost finish though. 

2. We were supposed to move some stuff today.I guess we can do that later , we will just rest and recharge. 

3. I haven't checked the place since the first time I went there, I heard a lot of broken stuff and need fixing, the toilet, kitchen faucets, some part of the roof and that is giving me major headache so I have to go and check for my self and see what we can do.

But still, I am thankful I am going to live there for free and that alone is enough reason not to get depressed about all the repairs I have to make.

Changi Airport Singapore

Changi Airport in Singapore is one of the busiest airport in Asia. In fact, it boast of having more than 40 million passengers each year. It's big and it is beautiful! I dare not compare it in NAIA Terminal 3 because that's basically new. But I doubt if it can be as nice as Changi. They have lots of plants inside which is refreshing to look at not to mention the shopping arcades :)

Those beautiful and comfortable chairs are for passengers who maybe early in the airport and wanted to rest. Beside that lounge area is a "smoking room" and the free internet section. Cool no? If  only hubby could apply in any Changi airport jobs available or If only I can apply for any jobs in Singapore :(

Oh well, I just hope our airport will also improve as time goes by :)

You want to be great? be a servant first

You don't need a bushnell spotting scope to see what's happening around you. Unless you chose not to see things then you won't even if it is already magnified.

There is a sick, poor, dirty man lying in the street near our church in fact almost in front of our church. He's been there since Saturday. And probably hundreds have noticed and saw him but only few stopped and took a closer look, and even fewer are those who stopped and gave him food.

This morning we went to Barangay hall to report it but guess what? they said they will not help the man because he is bad "pasaway" when he was still in good health. That I know of because he used to be a pedicab driver.

But then, don't you believe that everyone deserve a second chance in life? He might not have been good to his family and to the society before but there is still hope. I hope his children will realize that they are still his father. Yes, he has grown up kids that's why the Barangay said DSWD will not take custody of him because he has his family. But from the looks of it, I think the family rejected and abandoned him already.

This morning, before I went to office, he was eating in our church, he was given a bath, a new set of clothes and a medicine. I just hope someone get him off the street and I hope that someone is his family because he needs them.

Busy working weekend

It's a working weekend again for me. And though it's a total boo I can't do anything about it. Anyways, the boss said it will be just half day tomorrow (or today because it's already 4:12 AM here)

I'll be having a very busy weekend for sure, beside working half day on a Saturday, we will also be having the first day of Sunday School Teachers training in our church which me and my friend spearheaded.

And Rudolf will start re-painting the walls of our soon to be home and start moving stuff Sunday afternoon. And yet here we are both not sleeping at this hour, his downstairs with our youth having their first prayer vigil for the year and me finishing some tasks abut will join them later. We both need vitamins to keep us going, Women and male enhancement for skin and resistance is what we need I guess.

Pictures uploaded

Am done uploading one album from our side trip to Singapore after the conference in facebook. I have tons of picture and that's only a part. Internet is so slow (or my PC) whatever :) so I'm stopping now and hope to resume uploading tomorrow night. I still have few December pictures which cousins and friends have been waiting for me to upload but I really do not have the patience now specially when net is this slow.

Anyways, if you want to see more pictures from our Singapore trip here is the link : singapore pictures.

And me? my day (or night) isn't over yet. I'd have to check these chromium supplements for my plans to go on a diet (again after 5 years) and see if they could be of help.

And of course bejeweled ad cityville is there waiting for me too :)

More Singapore pictures

If you attended a mission's conference where you have your soul taken cared of, your spirit renewed and refreshed, when after the conference you spend some holidays in a nice place with no stress (from work) and you feel so free - do you think you would still need best wrinkle cream or any beauty cream at all? when you feel so good and happy from the inside it reflects on the outside right?

I love looking at our pictures from Singapore because my smile is so real and I look great there, unlike with many of my previous photos. The wonders of a long vacation.

It's time

Guess what? Something major is happening to us again this week. And If you are a regular visitor of this blog, you would know that we are currently living in the church mission's house at the moment but is moving on to a "temporary-permanent" (at least for a year) place this week. The place is now vacant and Rudolf will start fixing it this week and we are expecting to spend the first night there Sunday or Monday.

It's only February and we are on our 2nd move, but at least this time it will be easier as most of our stuff are still in boxes. But then, even if it i, It is still not a pleasant thing to do. Good thing we do not have yet big furniture to move like leather sofas or couches. Although I've been looking at some modern sofas  in leather sectionals of farrelli.com and I tell you they're all so nice! Wish I could have them all in a big house of mine someday :)

Anyways, transporting the bed and some kitchen appliances will only be the hardest part of the move and I have few friends that offered their help so I guess that wouldn't be much of a problem.

Tomorrow, my husband will go there and start painting the walls but we haven't decided with the color yet. I like a soft green but I love ecru or a very very light yellow too.

I am making my self excited by imagining how our new "home" would look like when we finally settled there. But the adjustment and the work..I don't like it at all.

4 years 10 months

Few more months and we'll be celebrating half a decade already as husband and wife. It feels like we just got married last year though..:) We've been through a lot and we've battled many storms along the way and I know there are still struggles to win but we are confident not only with the love we have for each other bur more so with the LOVE from the Lord that keeps us together. :)

We thank God for giving us time together in Singapore, as you can see we had so much fun after the conference :) And we gained more weight so I guess have to go and read weight loss supplement reviews for our future references. lol... but seriously, we both need to lose weight.
